Thanks for your ideas and sorry for my late reply.

It seems creating pg_stat_statements_xxx views both for generic and
custom plans is better than my PoC patch.

However, I also began to wonder how effective it would be to just
distinguish between generic and custom plans.  Custom plans can
include all sorts of plans. and thinking cache validation, generic
plans can also include various plans.

Considering this, I'm starting to feel that it would be better to
not just keeping whether generic or cutom but the plan itself as
discussed in the below thread.

Any thoughts?
